The Bears loss on Thursday night was yet another frustrating performance for fans. This time, it was the offense that failed to show up. While the defense showed signs of life for the first time in weeks—holding the Seahawks to just 6 points and keeping the game close—the rookie-led offense under Caleb Williams couldn’t find the end zone. The Bears ultimately fell 6-3 in a loss that left fans shaking their heads.
Despite the team’s 4-11 record heading into the game, Bears fans packed Soldier Field and created an atmosphere that felt like a playoff game. The crowd was loud and energized, showing incredible support.

However, as the game wore on and disappointment set in, the scene turned all too familiar. Loud boos echoed through the stadium as fans expressed their frustration, even chanting “sell the team” at a volume impossible for team management to ignore.

After the game, Caleb Williams addressed the boos, saying:

Williams understands the fans’ perspective. The frustration with this team has been building over years of disappointment. This season, however, stands out as one of the worst in recent memory, marked by chaos, poor performances, disappointment, and heartbreak. The Bears are now on a 10-game losing streak, with a finale against Green Bay looming. A 4-13 record seems inevitable.
The fans have every right to boo. It’s up to the players to give them a reason not to by finally playing quality football.
The worst part of this Bears’ season is just having endured the EXACT same frustration and futility with the Sox.
There’s been no break from it. It’s been non-stop ineptness, impotence, and incompetence on the field and in the front office since April – 9 months of record-breaking losing by each team, and incompetence and indifference by their respective management and ownership.
Somebody make it stop!
I imagine that, in the privacy of his own thoughts, Caleb was right there, with everybody else, saying sell the team.
Way better than what Cade McNown said as a rookie for those who remember.
The kid cares. He desperately wants to turn this team around. He has a lot of work to do on his own game to help make it happen. But he’s a lot more humble than almost anyone thought he would be coming in, and for everyone that questioned his toughness cause he cried and paints his nails… well this entire season is big fk you to you guys, because he has taken an absolute beating all year and he gets up off the ground every single time ready for more. You can question his play at times (remember he’s still… Read more »
I’m sure I’m not the only one who thought this year was going to be better than the last few years. I was optimistic about our new quarterback and the good receivers that were acquired but I have to admit I’m shocked at how the team has performed since game six. They were 4W+2L at that time but somehow the bottom fell out after that and i can’t even recognize this team anymore. Everybody has someone to blame from the coaches to the owner but just like Humpty Dumpty who’s going to put this team together again.
